### Text Boxes and Text

A text box control is a box in which the user can enter text while the dialog box is displayed. By default, a text box holds a single line of text. Enable support single and multiline text boxes. The last parameter of the textbox function contains a variable to set the textbox style.

Sub Main

Begin Dialog TextBoxSample 16,30,180,96,"Text Boxes and Text"

OKButton 132,20,40,14

CancelButton 132,44,40,14

Text 8,44,84,8,"Multiline Text Box:"

TextBox 8,56,100,32,.TextBox2, 1

End Dialog

Dim Dlg1 As TextBoxSample

Button = Dialog ( Dlg1 )

End Sub
